As we edge closer to the festival, we’ve listed down 10 acts that you cannot afford to miss out at TIMEOUT 72 this year.

Having already played festivals such as V Festival, Miami Beach Music Festival, Starlite Festival among others, the ‘Swalla’ hitmaker will be making the crowd groove with a power packed performance.
2. Martin Garrix
Not a stranger to India, Dutch powerhouse and world’s #1 DJ, Martin Garrix will be bringing the house down on the final day of the festival, with an arsenal of new sounds and a brand new show that the ‘Pizza’ hitmaker debuted at Coachella earlier this year.

4. Vini Vici
Psytrance heavyweights Vini Vici have packed a serious punch with their productions over the last couple of years, and their collaboration with Armin van Buuren, ‘Great Spirit’, in 2016 catapulted them into a whole new league. Upcoming collaborations with the likes of Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and KSHMR are only going to take the Israeli duo to newer heights, and missing them at TIMEOUT 72 would be a grave mistake!

You can’t have a music festival in India without homegrown talent, and TIMEOUT 72 has ensured domestic artists are represented amply on the festival’s lineup.
